thanks! Kept trying twin cities but couldn't find it by searching their listings. Found it from the search bar though once I figured out it was there. Better price from the California pet place. Now to make a decision.

We'll see when they arrive, lol.

As in I have no idea what the date codes on them are, but unopened, they should be fine for a long time past the printed date if they are stored properly.

If they are anything like human meds.... I have used 5 year old meds in a pinch on myself and they have worked. I would rather have something than nothing. But I get it.... I just know what my chickens are most likely to get here because of the weather and humidity and bought broad spectrum stuff to cover those things.

Praying I don't have to use them!

With many meds, sterility and temp controlled storage is more important than age. I have no problem using expired meds as long as I know how it's been kept.
